1988 Map of North Toiyabe Peak

About this map

North Toiyabe Peak stands as the central landmark of this high-elevation landscape within the Toiyabe National Forest. The map details the drainage systems and rugged topography of the Toiyabe Range during the late 1980s, where seasonal and perennial waters such as North Fork Birch Creek and Frenchman Creek carve deep canyons into the mountain flanks. Evidence of human activity is sparse but significant, including a Mine Shaft in the northeast and a Gravel Pit near the edge of the Smoky Depression. These features, along with names like Sawmill Canyon and Corral Canyon, suggest a history of resource extraction and livestock grazing. The transition from steep slopes to the alluvial fans of Big Valley is clearly defined, showing the network of 4WD trails that provided access to remote sites like Gilman Spring and the high ridges near Bunker Hill.
